Confirm these details on the official CPSC noticeWhy it was recalled
The product's design allows consumers to light the grill at an air intake tube, instead of at the burner. Though the grill appears to function normally, gas inside the air intake tube ignites. The tube can reach temperatures of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit and present a burn hazard to consumers.
Incidents and injuries
There have been 44 reports of consumers suffering burns to legs, hands and fingers, including reports of some third degree burns, after the grills collapsed during use. More than 1,000 consumers returned their grills to the manufacturers because the grills collapsed. There has been one incident reported by Value City and Schottenstein Stores customers.
Official remedy
CPSC urges consumers to stop using these grills immediately. Consumers who purchased Red Devil gas grills from Value City or Schottenstein stores can return it to the store for a store credit.
